.fr - the French top-level domain
The country-code top-level domain of France provides access to one of the most important markets in the European Union! After registration requirements have been relaxed, the registration of .fr domains is no longer restricted to organisations. But now private individuals based in Francecan register as well. Our trustee service allows for registrations without domicile in France.
Domains may be registered under .fr and .com.fr.
EPAG is an accredited .fr registrar and has direct access to the .fr registry system.
